Eastern University’s College of Business and Leadership prepares traditional undergraduate students to be grounded in Christ-centered faith, reason, and justice to serve as transformational change agents in business and beyond. Through majors in Business, Marketing, and Accounting, our programs equip future business professionals with a strong ethical foundation and the practical skills needed to thrive in today’s dynamic marketplace.

Guided by dedicated faculty and supported by small, engaging classes, coursework emphasizes the core functional areas of business while developing critical thinking, problem-solving, and decision-making abilities to address complex organizational challenges. Students also engage deeply with issues of ethics, cultural diversity, and globalization, preparing them to lead inclusively and make a meaningful impact wherever their careers take them.

• Faculty mentorship: Students can expect small classroom settings where they will learn from qualified faculty with experience in Fortune 500 companies, nonprofit organizations, business ethics, economics, development, board development, and missions. Eastern offers a faculty-led internship program with local and international organizations, as well as study abroad opportunities, so that students can obtain first-hand business experience and a competitive edge in the workplace.
• Career building and networking: Business students are supported by three Career Building courses that grow networking, internship seeking, career researching, and behavioral interviewing skills with a full time faculty member who also supports the building of resumes, Handshake pages and LinkedIn presences. Students have exposure to alumni panel events, career fairs, informational interviewing, and campus visits by local industry representatives, Campus Philly events, and other programs and competitions and other events involving Philadelphia area Universities.
• Balanced business foundation: The degrees offered by the Business Department at Eastern University are designed to provide students with a balanced foundation in all the major areas of business, including quantitative skills (accounting, finance, statistics, and operations management) and people-oriented skills (ethics, organizational behavior, and marketing). Business courses are designed to give students a breadth of understanding in business and economics, and to build logic skills and functional problem-solving skills with which to enter the workplace. Many students choose double majors or major & minor combinations to suit their career goals.
• Alumni successes: Eastern University Business alumni have gone on to make a meaningful impact across industries and organizations. They serve in roles such as human resource managers in financial institutions, small business owners, vice presidents of personnel for major corporations, buyers for national retail chains, and various executive-level positions within the business world. Many also continue their education in MBA and other advanced business programs at Eastern or other respected universities across the region and nation.
